I jumped on with the Lance Armstrong Foundation yellow ones, Amnesty Internationals promotion of Together we Can, our school held a conference for pupils that ended up on national tv which I was one of the organisers. Ive done a pink one for breast cancer research UK and now my black XMen 3 one.
So uh, Does their name begin with a A, E, D, H, J, K or a T?
In case of A, what's the second letter
Edit: It's you isn't it

Posting from The Peoples Republic of Liverpool
Wow an Englishman going against England arent there some Liverppol players in the team but anyway COME ON GERMANY AND SWEDEN
anyway trekkie what country would you most like to visit?
And who is better The Bruce or Wallace or Burns or THE BIG YIN?
The US a bit more.
But my estimate? Perhaps early next year....
Captain Stubing vs Captain Dirk vs Darth Vader vs Alf, who'd win?
What about Captain Kangaroo?
Sorry to those of you out of the States (or too young) that haven't a clue who I'm talking about...
Captain Janeway would beat them all.
Secondly, Alf is clearly the superiour being!
But what about all his gadgets!?
No, she didn't. She just sneaked out, like she always does.
